My tool addiction is getting ahead of me. With my life in flux, what I really need is a 1200lb drill press that’s too tall to fit in my current garage. But for $200 I couldn’t pass on this rare special piece of Americana.

It’s not home yet. Actually it’s going to a buddy’s barn until I get settled.
Known problems – missing V belt, stuck back gear lever, crack in cast cover, missing gear teeth. The whole thing needs to be disassembled, cleaned, paint removed and reassembled. Why did I buy this thing again?

Since there’s little on the Internet about this machine, I’ll post updates on what I discover, if I don’t give up and scrap it. LOL
